Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Firejail versions prior to 0.9.44.4

Description The issue allows context-dependent attackers to bypass a seccomp-based sandbox protection mechanism. This can be achieved via the --allow-debuggers argument when running on a Linux kernel before 4.8.

Recommendations For Firejail versions prior to 0.9.44.4, update to version 0.9.44.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of the --allow-debuggers argument until the update is applied.
